[Adventure] Murder Most Foul! (Judge: EvolutionKB)

"Hey, I'm just a hatchet guy, ya know? Merrick's the boss. He tells us what to do. He has his fingers in everything. Gambling, drugs, whores, weapons, exotics, slaves. Everything. He runs it all out of the back of Shamukaars. But, just the five of ya ain't going bring him down and push him out. He's got too much muscle. Ya'll need a small army of guys to take him on. If ya want a slice, your best bet is to go talk to him, show him how tough ya are, and convince him that ya can run a small piece bettr'n anyone else he uses. If ya don't deal with him, he'll just throw three times as many cracks at ya next time. The word's probably already out that ya rolled us, so ya better be quick about it too. Walking in bright as day might just show him ya mean bizness and give ya your shot."

"Another thing. There was a few corpse appearing in the upper level. Some told they come from Khyber's Gate and was throw up there. You must have heard those rumor. What does Merrik have to do with it?" asks Artemus to the Orc.
 

"Yeah, I heard about that. I don't think Merrick... Hey, wait a minute. Ya don't think we had anything to do with that. We ain't never killed no kids. Watta ya trying to pull here?" the Orc starts becoming belligerent and starts pushing up at Boruuk. It tries to struggle out of Boruuk's hold, but it doesn't seem that skilled at it. Evidently, even thugs have consciences and you now have its blood up.
 

Knoepf watches the orc intently to see if he's telling the truth as Artemus questions him.

"He's telling the truth Artemus. Believe me, I'd know if he was lying." Posing a question to the whole group: "So what does everyone think? Should we meet this boss he's talking about."
 


"If Merrick have nothing to do with it, he will probably be more in favor of this murderer to be eliminated before the city guards decide to go down there and search for it. It will be bad for his business. Because he is a businessman. He offers good, even if they are illegals, and violence and trouble are generally bad for business... generally." replies Artemus.

"That, and we have someone who will be able to introduce us to his boss." he then look at the orc.
